Mister Finch's Adventures

Fairy tales made from textile - this is the world of whimsical curiosities that are measured, cut and sewn from vintage fabrics, old stained aprons, dusty curtains and trims.  Realistically and  ingenuously conceptualized, Mister Finch's objects inspired by nature are mysterious and a bit creepy.  His creatures tell a story, they evoke wonderment and inspire the collector. Mister Finch resides in Yorkshire and with no formal training his works of art sell out on Etsy very quickly.  Welcome to Mister Finch's adventures...

Ceramic Library

Bernard Kuhn's Berlin shop is like a cabinet of natural curiosities created from clay.  His ceramic pieces are playful and mysterious but still very sophisticated with touches of gold.  Kuhn's clever works of art contain whimsical images and text of funny and images of nature and fairy tales.  His ceramics are like books.  They tell a story.  Welcome to Bernard Kuhn's library...

The Curated Corner

As an interior designer, I love creating a story with vignettes.  I think every room should have some kind of  grouping that ideally consists of objects, art and lighting (lamp).  Introduce some character, warmth and drama by creating your own curated corner in your living space.  Approach the process as an art exhibit perhaps.  The key to a successful vignette is the combination of different textures, shapes, materials and objects that are tall, short, big and small.  Enjoy!
